Something encouraging for November

Heard it this morning on the radio. In these last few special elections, the GOP has spent HEAVILY to try to win them, and lost. When the general election comes around, they won't be able to do that in the 100+ races they have to "defend". Mostly, they're going to have to do alot of general advertising and GOTV kinds of activities. There aren't even enough PAC's to cover all the races.

If we put up good local candidates and let them run "locally", we could do VERY well.

$400 MILLION alone in Nov for republicans and there are others like that. Democrats have no answer yet to those kind of money people....yet

there are races that must be "localized" amd many others where they must be "nationalized", wisconsin is a good place to nationalize as trump admin is destroying environemntal protections along with Walker and people of wisconsin rather enjoy their country side, clean water and clean air...same can be said out west.

You mention your position on a local issue, explain that the opponent isn't doing anything to "defend" the locals. Scarce mention of from whom that defense is necessary.
